All your allies have deceived you,
    they have driven you to the border;
your confederates have prevailed against you;
    those who ate[a] your bread have set a trap for you—

    and understanding out of Mount Esau.
Your warriors shall be shattered, O Teman,
    so that everyone from Mount Esau will be cut off.
